Ten Righteous Men

In Genesis, Abraham bargains with the Creator for the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. In the end, the Creator tells Abraham to gather Lot (His brother) and as many of his family etc they can get, and get out of dodge, so to speak.

Regardless of the intent of the Creator toward the people who surround us, it’s probably a good idea to be one of the righteous.

You have to think about what this means; it doesn’t mean to be a sheep, or a pacifist, or a bible thumping self righteous ass. Abraham himself was commanded by the Lord to make war against Amalek.(Pascal reminds me that this is not true, it was lots captors and the raiders of Sodom, Gommorah, and Zoar that Abe went to war with) Lot himself had incestuous relations with his daughters. The Lords idea of righteousness is different from what Pat Robertson or Perry Stone says it is.

Be righteous. Not Self righteous. Be prepared. Be one of the saved, and not one of the lost. Be worth saving.
